A Thanksgiving Guide to Baked-in-Brooklyn Pies

Officially burned out on a post-Halloween excess of Tootsie Pops, Milk Duds and bite-sized Baby Ruth’s? Time to turn your attention to autumn’s other prominent holiday sweet: pie. Granted, it’s become a bit of a year-round indulgence, thanks to the infamous Four and Twenty Blackbirds, but consider this your opportunity to give Brooklyn’s other quality pie purveyors a whirl—from Prospect Heights newcomer Daly Pie, to Russia’s Stolle Bakery, with outposts in Carroll Gardens and Brighton Beach.

Bien CuitZachary Golper may be considered one of Brooklyn’s premiere bread artisans, but his pie game is just as strong; consider intriguingly-tweaked classics such as Pumpkin with marshmallow and pecan praline, and Caramel Apple with cheddar streusel, or highly non-traditional Thanksgiving offerings, such as a Yuzu Tart layered with Asian pears and coconut cream, or a Kadota Fig and Ricotta Torte.120 Smith St., Cobble Hill

Little Cupcake BakeshopCupcakes are merely a jumping off point at this winsome Bay Ridge sweet shop—you’ll also find an array of Pecan, Apple Crumb and Pumpkin Spice pies, formed from ingredients sourced from local farms, and baked in small batches in their green architecturally designed space.9102 3rd Ave., Bay Ridge

The Good BatchThough we can’t imagine your Thanksgiving guests would turn up their noses at Pumpkin Chai Whoopie Pie Ice Cream Sandwiches, or lacy Dutch Stroopwaffles filled with buttered caramel (The Good Batch’s signature sweet) the Clinton Hill storefront is nodding to the season with a duo of pies as well: Ginger Cookie Pumpkin sweetened with molasses, and Apple Crumble made with NYS-grown fruit.936 Fulton St., Clinton Hill
